Why advertise on a local site? According to a study conducted for Internet Broadcasting Systems,80 percent of local news site users find ads on its sites more relevant than those on national news sites because the sites are local. Additionally, over two-thirds of survey respondents said they're more likely to click on local news site ads than those on national news sites.
People consume media differently Consider that that in January 2009, the Digital Future Report from the University of Southern California s Annenberg School found that 79% of adult users said the Internet was now their most important source of information (not just for news), higher than television (68%) or newspapers (60%). Getting news online, in other words, has become more of a reflex and a larger part of people s daily lives.
Who is the audience for online news and weather? For all the growth in new media, one other factor has remained constant in Internet news trends: the people who go online for their news tend to be more educated. That has not changed over the last decade even as the number of online news users has grown. Ten years ago a college graduate was more than three times as likely as someone with a high school education or less to regularly go online for news. That gap remains just as large today. Fully 61% of college graduates go online for news at least three days a week, compared with just 19% of those with no more than a high school education Key News Audiences Now Blend Online And Traditional Sources, Pew Research Center Biennial News Consumption Survey, Pew Center for the People & the Press, August 17, 2008
